Free College Applications

Backlist of updates (sorry!)

Thu, 08 Sep 2005 19:20:13 GMT

Although I've been dutifully updating the website, I keep forgetting to post my updates here! My apologies.

The following colleges have been added to the list as schools that waive the fee for on-line applications: Colby, Hanover, Drexel, Cedar Crest, Alice Lloyd, King's (PA), Madonna, McKendree, Judson, Wesleyan (GA), Lindsey Wilson, Berea, Bay Path, the Mississippi University for Women, and Cottey.

Rochester is no longer offering a free application on-line, but you will save $30 (USD) if you apply that way. Mount St. Mary's, St. Gregory's, the Wentworth Institute of Technology, and Abilene Christian have also been added as reduced schools.

Wells and Hobart & William Smith waive the fee for legacies.

The College of Wooster has been removed from the list of free on-line applications, though you can receive a waiver for visiting.

Expect more updates soon!

Binghamton removed from list

Binghamton University has been removed from the list of free applications. Although this university commonly gets recommended as a free application one, I can't find anything to back that up. If you know how to get your application fee waived at Binghamton — or can at least explain why so many people think it's possible — please let me know.
